Kitsch doll toilet roll cover
I just couldn't resist adding this kitsch little doll toilet roll cover, She looks very 'flower power' in her long dress with chain belt and matching headscarf!
I don't think she is very old and obviously homemade as they all are, but very funky and will liven up your loo, just pop her legs into the toilet roll center :)
